Junction.

The war'ike appearances OF persons
aud thing around the Courthouse on
Thursday evening, resulted in Sheriff
Cannon going to lhsst-r, instead OF
the Olunty Jail last night, and enjoy.
ing the performance OF Caprice by
Minnie MadderD and company. Yes
teddy morning Peace presented her
smiling face in the Railways that lead
to the Criminal, County and ChaDcery
Courts, as we'll a. to the Sheriff Office,
end grim visaged war smoothed her
wrinkled front aud retired from the
temple devoted to justice. The cause
Tor this anstormstion or sudden
shifting OF scenery, was the modtica-
ton OF the fiat made by Oh ancellor
Elicit upon the injunction bill fled by
Chairman Slaughter, of the County
Cour, against Sheriff Cannon, who,
by order of Judge DuBose, OF the
Criminal Cont, turned its off ,es, fur
uiture, etc, out Of the County Court
room.
REVOLVING THE FIAT IN PARr.
The modification OF the fat was 10
the Z iact that the Chancellor,, ION con-
sideration, revoked 30 much OF the fat
granted Thursday as di eCted the Sher-
id to rgtt,ra complainant TO the Dos
session of the courtroom and office,
and 10 replace the furniture, etc.
The effect Of this revocation left the
Injunction part Of the fiat in f)rcs,
and prevented Sheriff Cannon from
doing anything one way or an
other. This leaves the Sheriff in pos
session and leaves all the fuvnitnrs out
Ia the balls. All the parties to the
contest seem satisfied 70 let the m tier
rest until Monday next, when a settle
ment may be reached, ~ the Sheriff
on yesterday, by counsel, fled a mo.
ton in the Chanosry Court to dissolve
the injunction, aud which motion will
DO heard next Monday.
SATISFACTORY TO ALL.

Chairman Slaughter, Of the County
Court, bad no special abiding p ace in
the Courthouse yesterday, his Office
having been seizld, but he wandered
around the other offices, like an un-
easy spirit seeking permanent rest
ing place. lie took the matter
coolly, and when INTERCEPTED said that
he and Judge DuBjss were personal
friends, aud II the Judge had not been
80 hasty he believed the trouble would
have been settled by the County Court
next Monday by a recon g Iteration Of
the action taken by the Court, aud
giving Judge DuBose quiet possession
OF the Courtroom and Offices; but
now that the County Court had
been antaponiEed be did not think the
room and offices would bs surrendered
without q protracted legal struggle in
the courts. So far as he was con-
cerned, he merely represented the
County Court a. Its chairman, and had
no authority to give up the premises
to Judge DuBose without being 30 or
dered BY the County Court.
Sheriff Cannon 10 acting under the
advice OF his counsel, Messrs. Lehman
